You're right, it isa expensive, $2,700 to be exact! (doesn't include install, just the glass). I'm only paying my deductible (500), but good thing is it had to be ordered from the factory. They are suppose to install this week. Thank you all for the kind words!!!

Something hit it--look for a small leaded object with possibly a metal jacket that is hollow. Probably lodged somewhere near where your head is--
